Ask me a question! InCryptid knowledge party.

With Midnight Blue-Light Special approaching fast (and Half-Off Ragnarok just put to bed), I am naturally spending a lot of time thinking about InCryptid, and blogging about InCryptid, since I want everyone to be as excited as I am. So here is your invitation:

Ask me a question. Ask me a big question. Like when I posted about the rules governing fae marriage. The ones that require serious thought, and a genuine desire to know.

What can cuckoos really do? What was the straw that broke the camel's back for Alexander and Enid? How do cryptid communities conceal themselves in human cities? Questions too big, and too complicated, to answer in the FAQ. Now, because I apparently wasn't clear enough the first time, I WILL NOT GIVE SPOILERS. Please don't ask me where someone is, or whether someone else is coming back, or whether I'll post a full calendar of Aeslin holidays (because I never, ever will). Ask me about laws and rules and universe, about etiquette and speciation and trends in fashion.

The ten best questions will get full blog posts about them, explaining whatever facet or facets of the InCryptid world they touch on. I get to determine "best," although you're all welcome to weigh in or ask secondary questions.

I have comment amnesty for any questions I do not choose to answer during this particular publication lead-in, because I want my brain to not dribble out of my ears.

Game on!

Let's see if I can ask broad questions.

How do the Price children manage to hide the nature of the "games" they play at home? Discount Armageddon indicated that they were surprised that hide and seek, etc. did not involve traps and tricks of any sort for other children. I suspect I would have a hard time hiding my confusion at that, especially at a young age. What are they taught that prevents, say, teachers from learning about games at home and/or where injuries came from and calling social services?


Are there any cat-like cryptids around? I ask because I love cats and can't imagine them *not* having some kind of cryptid alter-ego type thing, especially given the mice.


Were any of the Egyptian (or other pantheon) god/esses based on cryptids? If so, how did that happen and how did the spread of monotheism impact the cryptids there?
